Welcome to all my current pupils and anyone else who is studying Biology and Chemistry this year.
This blog will help you by listing my favourite internet resources for each of the Scottish Chemistry and Biology examinations at Standard Grade, Intermediate 2 and Higher Grade.
There is also an Amazon Link below which will help you if you would like to buy some of my favourite text books and I will also list past papers on there once this year's are published.
So Good Luck with your Biology and Chemistry courses this year and I hope you enjoy them and find them useful and interesting.
If you would like any tutoring please telephone me at 0141 956 4358 or email me at milngavietutors@gmail.com
(Please note these Amazon links are Amazon Associates links and if you purchase a book through these I receive a small amount of money.)

Index Notation
This comes up in all the courses so if you are not sure about why 0.1 is written as 1 x 10-1 then click here http://www.mathsisfun.com/index-notation-powers.html
SI Units
You should know about the SI units of measurement and mass - here is an explanation :
The Système International d'Unités (SI), is the list of units which measurements are based on in the metric system and which are used by scientists to have a standard when carrying out experiments.
For example the basic unit of length that is used is metres (m), time is measured in seconds (s), mass has a base unit of kilograms (kg), thermodynamic temperature is measured in kelvins (K), amount of substance is taken as the mole (mol).
